Draft Grade — Bears
Overall A-
ValueB NeedB TradesA- FutureA+
The Bears cashed the board's mistake on Mustapha: A-.

You could see the war room lean forward. Malik Mustapha at the Round 6 slot is the sort of fall that does not happen, except it just did. A near-flawless weekend of work, and a A- to cap it.

That interior defensive lineman hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. They squeezed a little extra out of every move they made.

In the end it comes back to Cooper DeJean, and a haul good enough to build on right away.

Pick Analysis
Pick21 Rnd1 Cooper DeJean
In pick No. 21 they get a press-man option on the boundary. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick32 Rnd1 Graham Barton
In No. 32 they get a plug-and-play piece up front at fair value. A real need, handled.
Pick44 Rnd2 Troy Franklin
Nice patience on Troy Franklin, who had no business lasting to pick 44. The roster fit checks out.
Pick75 Rnd3 Kalen King
Circle this one: Kalen King at the 75th pick is a fall that decides a draft. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick77 Rnd3 Payton Wilson
A market-rate linebacker, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Payton Wilson. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick90 Rnd3 Christian Mahogany
Christian Mahogany at Round 3, Pick 27 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the offensive lineman. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick110 Rnd4 Blake Fisher
Nothing to complain about; Blake Fisher went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick120 Rnd4 Cedric Gray
Cedric Gray in the Round 4 slot is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick127 Rnd4 Kris Abrams-Draine
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Kris Abrams-Draine in the 127th overall pick. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick186 Rnd6 Malik Mustapha
They barely believed it either: Malik Mustapha still on the board at No. 186. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick199 Rnd6 Michael Barrett
Michael Barrett at slot 199 is money in the bank, a linebacker taken below his worth. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick225 Rnd7 Brevyn Spann-Ford
By-the-book stuff, Brevyn Spann-Ford at pick No. 225 squarely in line with his ranking. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick227 Rnd7 Jason Henderson
They paid sticker price for Jason Henderson in the 227th pick, and that is fine. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick232 Rnd7 J.J. Weaver
J.J. Weaver at Round 7, Pick 12 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
